Yu Ji Stone Mill Chinese Crepes
$10 Egg crepe with hot dogs, sugar crisp and spice. Mild spice (small fire) of chili oil was too mild for me. I'd go for medium next time to taste more. Bike food stall! A friend mentioned it's a popular snack in China now, with it coming from North of Beijing. Transaction: We paid cash $10. There's other ways to pay too but we don't use wechat and the options given. Size: Crepe is pretty large. It can be shared with another person as a snack, or a meal for someone like me. If you're a big eater, it's a very hefty good snack. Quality: Half was a bit dry, the other half was more moist. Flavors was a bit fuller than expected...maybe we were drooling too hard while watching it being made. I love egg crepes anything (if not made with dairy), especially the Taiwanese breakfast egg crepes. So I'm less picky. I wouldn't expect this to be the best thing you've or have eaten. But it's pretty darn unique street vendor food. I have haven't seen a food vendor provide this crepe anywhere else in 626/SGV West. They can probably up their quality of the eggs we're fluffed more so that it's more moist? I'll probably bring and add my own mayo, ketchup or such next time. Again, I've never eaten this type of crepe style. Mung bean is normally a dry type of food when eaten dry.
You get a lot of bang for your buck here. My and my GF shared one and that was plenty. The fillings include hot dogs, mung bean, wonton chips and sesame seeds. Seems like a very traditional street dish in China. The flavors might be bland for some but I know some Asian people prefer that. I personally thought it was not bad but I wouldn't mind adding hot sauce or hoisin. For $10, it's a nice little hidden gem that feels like home for some Chinese natives.

Liang Crispy Roll
Found this place off TikTok! It’s a small hole in the wall with delicious food! I ordered the spicy chicken and my bf ordered the duck crispy roll. We loved them both. The spicy chicken has so much flavor to it and paired perfectly with the crispy roll + to all the non spicy eaters, it wasn’t too spicy. It had the perfect amount of kick to it :)
I got two crispy rolls today...TWO!!! they do not skimp on the protine, the portions are great. I had the lamb and the duck. My body got the kimchi pork and the garlic shrimp. Personally I ate mine but had two botes of the other two and they were all delightful. The veggies and or greens are fresh. And it's well balanced flavor profiles of each were worth the 45 minutes drive I made from the beach just to eat here.

I came here on a chilly Saturday night (no pun intended) to get a fine bowl of beef noodle soup and some dumplings and that's exactly what I got. The menu is via a QR code and you can customize your soup to your liking. I think next time I'll get less chili oil just so it's a little less oily for me. I think I got medium spice level and it wasn't too bad. The beef noodle soup was very tasty, noodles were cooked well and the beef itself very tender and delicious. The pork dumplings were plump, juicy and the skin wasn't too thicc. Service was reasonably fast and friendly. The restaurant was clean and I would come back again. I'd give this spot a closer 4.3 to 4.4 rather than Google making stick to whole numbers. Until the next food adventure.
Im going to start my review with: truly impeccable. My absolute favourite is the glutinous rise cakes, crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Biting into it feels like an asmr video dream as if it is an unreal experience, the chewy part is like chewing soft candy but its softer, warmer, and 79x better. Love it so much. Service is also fantastical, I’ve been to two locations and the kindness is still the same. I will definitely be coming again.
Nanjing Salted Duck
Really authentic Nanjing food! Highly recommend roasted duck(烤鸭) and sweet lotus root with sticky rice (糖藕). You can choose to dine in or take out. They have a small number of tables available for dine-in.
The broth is overwhelmingly peppery, and you have to ask for salt and chicken essence, plus the duck liver doesn't taste fresh. I'm not sure if this is how an authentic duck blood vermicelli soup is supposed to be.
Walnut Tree Restaurant
we've been to eat twice now. first for dinner we got the green beans and pork chop with spicy salt. everything was fresh and delicious. then we went for the lunch special that's under $10 dollars for soup, egg roll, wonton, you choice of entree and rice. it's pretty amazing to find a lunch special for that price and have the food be nutritious and wholesome. I will say the food is traditional don't come here looking for a sterile americanized version. It's delicious and this small family owned business deserves more traffic
Small whole in the wall. Good food. The orange chicken was the best. Dark meat. Not too sweet. Sweet n sour had white meat. So it was kinda dry. Mongolian beef very chewy and kind of sweet. Has a lot of onions. Good portions though.
Green Shaker by Ten Ren
Never been experiencing Ten Ren as worst as today at Grand and Valley walnut. Buy 2 cup of honey green tea with Aloe, usually the aloe is about 1" at the bottom of the cup this time only enough to cover the bottom. Is aloe price just went up so Ten Ren think they need to cut the portion? That cutting the portion more than half compare to regular. I been with Ten Ren for around 20 years since Alhambra and San Gabriel. The one that make it 1 star is how the attendant respond to my complaint. When I ask why the aloe is so little, she just said light that how the scop is with "I don't care face"
This is a very good choice for Taiwan street food. The wantons were just as good as those in Taiwan and the 3-cup chicken lunch combo was decent, except it was a bit too sweet. We also tried the deep fried fish balls, which were really good, though I’m sure it wasn’t very healthy. The service was friendly and excellent. The eating area was clean and comfortable. I gave a 5-star rating due to its friendly service and closeness to authenticity of Taiwanese Chinese food (not to be confused with Taiwanese Food).
Sheng Hui Dim Sum
I came here on 1/26/25 a little after 11am. I was order number 10. I got the shumai and Shanghai dumplings. I took it home and I the shumri was not cooked. The pork was raw. I spent the time to take it back and got a refund, what a waste of time. Be careful with your food.
Omg one of the best dim sum place I've had! After the pandemic everyone elses' portions (or size) went down but not theirs. I was super surprised to see that each of the familiar items are all the same size as what we're used to. The flavor is outstanding and super authentic! According to the owners the chief was already a sim sum chef back in Hong Kong. We ordered for 2 and it came out to be about $40 ish. Well worth the money especially when everyone else is super expensive. There's only 1 small table outside so don't expect to be able to occupy it. Looks like we'll be a regular here.
Mandarin Taste
Had an amazing experience here yesterday. Awesome to see the same staff working and happy to be there. I have been coming here since i was 3 years old with my grandfather who was a diamond bar resident for 45 years . He passed away but I came back to visit and just see if it brought back good memories , and it did. It exceeded my expectations .The food was excellent, pricing was great and the atmosphere was amazing.
Food is fine, but It's not my type, not spicy, just plain food. But chicken was great. Tofu was fine so you can just try it. Quality and quantity is value of money
李家面食
Update: the wontons are still the best. We also tried the steammed buns (小笼包) and grilled buns (生煎包),both were quite good. Not as fancy as Ding Tai Fung, but sure tastes better. This place has one of the best wontons in SoCal. The soup flavor was just right with a right amount of seaweeds and cilantros. Note: the soup does contain tiny dried shrimps, so if you have shrimp allergy, you should ask the chef not to add the tiny white shrimps. The xiaolongbao (小笼包)were decent as well, but the wonton was superb. They also serve Chinese breakfast on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays, though selection was limited. They have fried bread stick (油条), but no buns (烧饼) to go with it as they normally go together. Also, I really wanted to try the pork buns, but they ran out for the day. (Edit: we’ve returned to try its pork buns, and they were decent, but not great.) Guess I have to go back. This place is in a plaza that’s a little hard to find as it’s not on a busy street and many vacancies within the plaza, but the upside is that there were plenty of parking spaces.
Surprisingly tasty! It's a hole-in-the-wall type of family restaurant. Food portions are substantial and rather affordable in price. Taste? Authentic mama type of cooking. - Wonton: It is very good, but not the best in Socal like someone suggested. - Pot stickers: The best dish today. Very crispy and filled with lean meat. Little fat. - Porridge: porridge of the day is a sweet millet porridge. Not bad, very "Taiwan" like - Steamed bun: lots of filling. Great baos. Overall, satisfied and will be back! Recommend!
Diamond Palace Chinese Seafood
Went there dinner round 7:30. There were three tables with customers. The place was pretty quiet. Large portions. The flavors were ok. There’s a bit of MSG- my lips were shriveled 😆 One lady was very nice but the other one was kinda abrupt. Maybe their lunch is better.
Driving thru Diamond Bar during lunch, decided to stop in for some dim sum and noodles. Yummy! We ordered the pork Shumai, shrimp har gaw, beef meatballs, crispy noodles w/chicken and the war wonton soup. Dim sum was good, the noodles and the soup were the stars! Service was quick and courteous.
Tasty Garden
Excellent Hong Kong-style food here. Extensive menu with prompt and courteous service. As of Aug '23, they offer a yummy dessert for free! Prices are lower than similar restaurants in the area, and the portions are generous. The only drawback is the setting, which is at the back end of the shopping plaza. Not particularly picturesque, but all the other positives easily outweigh that. Great food, great price!
BEWARE! I found a screw in my fried rice and nearly chipped my tooth! Thank goodness I didnt swallow it. This is totally unacceptable.
Hao Jing Seafood Restaurant (好景海鲜烧腊酒楼)
Decided to visit to this spot-on Thanksgiving Day 2023! Honestly, not sure what to expect, as soon we walked in, we were happily greeted and seated right away! I noticed there were a ton of to go orders. Partner and I were craving our typical Chinese food order Salt and Pepper Calamari – Crunchy, seasoned well, not too spicy Szechwan Eggplant – hint of spice, stayed hot (temperature wise) the whole time Beef Chow Fun w gravy – Tender beef, flavorful noods Duck – typical, very good except, it came out room temp. BBQ Pork – Typical and just like the duck – room temp. If you are in or near the area and can’t get to Alhambra or Rosemead, let’s say you live in Whittier, City of Industry, Avocado Heights then this is your spot. =) Missing star – I was quite surprised at the price of 2 Bbq item combo $31? Check out how small the portion was.
I was a regular at this establishment. Standard Chinese food, nothing amazing but the roast duck is decent. I used to buy roast duck here often but realized they started removing parts of the duck without letting me know. Last time, I was missing a whole leg. Every time when the roast duck was given to me with missing parts, I realized it was the same lady preparing my order. I believe she is the owner. It used to be a guy that prepared my roast duck and nothing ever went missing. But when she prepares it, she takes a cut without informing me. Removing parts of the duck I paid for without my knowledge is theft. This is stealing! I paid for the whole duck, not parts of the duck. I put this review up to warn others when buying roast duck. Make sure you have a complete order before leaving! Don't get robbed. I will never come back again, they have lost a long time customer for their greed and dishonesty.
